BELGRADE (Sep. 19)

A report that Germany intends to set up an autonomous Jewish State in Galicia was published here today by the semi-official Yugoslav newspaper Vreme.

A Bucharest dispatch to the newspaper said the state would be established in agreement with the new Polish Government planned by Germany. The correspondent said the Jews would have full control of the autonomous region, to which all the Jews of Germany, Bohemia, Moravia, Austria and the occupied portions of Poland would be sent.
